The PicketLink Installer is a simple Apache Ant script that applies all the necessary changes to your JBoss Enterprise Application Platform 6.1 installation, including:
-
Updates the PicketLink module with the latest libraries.
-
Installs the PicketLink Subsystem.
-
Configures some of the PicketLink Quickstarts. Specially the PicketLink Federation examples. What means you can start using them to get a picture of the SAML Single Sign-On and other features provided by PicketLink Federation. !
Important
The installer is not a required step in order to get you started with PicketLink. But if you want the PicketLink Subsystem installed and the PicketLink module updated (in order to avoid ship the libraries inside your deployment) in your JBoss Enterprise Application Platform installation, it can be very useful.
as The installer can be obtained from http://downloads.jboss.org/picketlink/2/2.6.0.CR2/picketlink-installer-2.6.0.CR2.zip. Once you've downloaded, extract the ZIP file, enter the directory that was created and execute the following command:
ant
Now you should be prompted for the full path of your JBoss Application Server installation.
